Executive Producer Colin Trevorrow Shares The First Footage From ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ Of Chris Pratt And A Baby Raptor

Here’s something to give thanks for! Executive producer and screenwriter Colin Trevorrow has tweeted the first look at ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘, in advance of even a teaser trailer. It’s a quick one, but we get an adorable look at Chris Pratt, who returns as Owen Grady with a baby velociraptor. Of course, as you may recall from the first ‘Jurassic World’, Owen was the Raptor Whisperer, turning the scariest monsters from the original film trilogy to the heroes of the relaunch. Will that remain the case? Or will this pint-sized cutie turn into a man-eating killer? That will have to wait until June to find out, but until then, enjoy this clip:

Pratt returns along with Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Claire Dearing. They will be joined by Jeff Goldblum‘s Ian Malcolm, who appeared in a supporting role in ‘Jurassic Park’ and took over as lead in ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park’. Another veteran, B.D. Wong, who portrays Dr. Henry Wu, will also return for this installment, after appearing in the first movie and ‘Jurassic World’. The cast also includes Geraldine Chapman, James Cromwell, Toby Jones, Ted Levine, Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith and Rafe Spall.

Trevorrow directed ‘Jurassic World’ but left to work on ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ (which he has since departed). He did pen the script with Derek Connolly, however. J.A. Bayona (‘A Monster Calls’) stepped in to direct the sequel.

Trevorrow has said about the film:

“The dinosaurs will be a parable of the treatment animals receive today: the abuse, medical experimentation, pets, having wild animals in zoos like prisons, the use the military has made of them, animals as weapons.”

In a separate interview, he said:

“Dr. Wu [BD Wong] says in the film, when he’s warning Dr. Masrani [Irrfan Khan], ‘We’re not always going to be the only ones who can make a dinosaur.’ I think that’s an interesting idea that even if we don’t explore fully in this film, there is room for this universe to expand.”

Jason Motes

Jason's earliest memory is of watching 'Batman,' followed shortly by a memory of playing Batman & Robin with a friend, which entailed running outside in just their underwear and towels as capes. When adults told them they couldn't run around outside in their underwear, both boys promptly whipped theirs off and ran around in just capes. Jason's father gamely agreed to read him comic books as bedtime stories instead of 'Snow White.' (Super Friends being his favorite.) Jason saw all of the original Star Wars movies (and Indiana Jones and Superman and Star Trek...) in the theaters. Yes, he is old. And grew up in the most GEEKTASTIC decade ever, the 80s, devouring a steady diet of GI Joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, Princess of Power and (best of all) Jem! (It totally counts as sci fi! They had a sentient computer that projected holograms!) Jason has studied literature, journalism, film history and has a degree in creative writing (and a minor in psychology) from the University of South Alabama. He has worked as a technical writer and proofreader. These days, most of his creative energy goes into his blog and writing for this site! He lives with the cutest puppies ever.
